Joomla DJ-Reviews Extension

DJ Reviews is a commercial rating and reviews extension for Joomla. It gives the user the possibility to expand articles with reviews and ratings (comments features). You can create own rating criteria for different content types and set each of them's importance.

The weight will be used later to calculate the overall rating. So, the website’s users will be able to write reviews, rate content (including DJ-Classifieds ads, DJ-Catalog listings, and J2Store products).
DJ Reviews comes with a component, module, and plugins. Configuration options require creating a group of rating criteria and then assigning to each group the criteria according to the type of content.
Depending on your needs, the configuration settings allow you to specify the scope of information about which users can extend their ratings: Title, comment, rating. Comments can be published automatically or only after being moderated by the administrator.
The user can also manage his comments in a wide range: edit and delete, but it requires the administrator's permission. The website’s administrator manages and has full control over comments - he can remove or modify them.
Defined words can be blacklisted and will be automatically changed to
We also need to mention that the submission of the new rating /review/ comment is easy.
